Skinhead perhaps said 'race means to cross country's boundaries' (9)
I believe the answer is:
hairstyle
'cross country's boundaries' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'skinhead perhaps said race means' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'skinhead' could be 's' (head letter of 'skin') and 's' is found in the answer.
'perhaps' could be 'y' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'y' is present in the answer.
'said' could be 't' (I've seen this in other clues) and 't' is located in the answer.
'means' could be 'air' (I have seen 'Means of travelling' mean 'air ' so perhaps 'means' could also mean 'air ') and 'air' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hairstyle that I've seen before include "Design of crowning glory" , "DA possibly" , "Pageboy or bob, say" .)
